Goodreads asked Rupert Smith:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Rupert Smith Just get on and do it. Get something under your belt. And for God's sake, plan plan plan. If you don't know where it's going, then how on earth can you plan your effects and make it satisfying for the reader? Books are for readers, NOT writers.
